3Taind # was in contemplation OF such
q rim "a this that Cleveland made his
promise 10 the st. Louis delegation.
The fact is that he intends TO go graat
deal farther in the direction OF the
setting sun than st. Louis.
If the President makes his ar
rangements he will leave this
4 city the first week IN August.
and will probably remain away until
the LIST of October. He will travel in
snecial car. with certain members OF his
immediste household and two or three
cabinet officers. The intention is to go
clear across the continent to the Pacific
coast. Principal cities on the line of
the road Will be visited in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois. Missouri and Minnesota.
Postmaster-Gener Villas is particu-
Slsrly anxious that he should make q
good impression in those States
in time for the fall election.
The President is curious to visit
those cities along the Union Pacific
Railway, and it is now in his plan to go
as far as Portland, Oregon. Indeed,
il is said he would very much like to
steam up the Pacific Ocean as far as
Alaska, although he has been told this
would be construed as a violation of
precedent which permits no President
to go outside of the country during his
term OF Office. 1t is probable that in GO
ing and coming, the President and his
party will visit Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Chicago, st, Paul, and possibly Port
land, San Francisco, Omaha, st. Louis,
Louisville, Cincinnati. and other I'M
portsnt cities, in order that he may
come IN contact with the people, and |
especially with working politicians.
Postmaster General Villas, who is, |
perhaps, the most ardent and industri- |
Gus second termer in the administra-
uon, will, when the proper time comes,
leave nothing undone to working the |
Journey for all it is worth and swing
around political circles. The Demo. |
